The nature always uses the least energy and theleast materials for the job, although human beingsare wasting a large part of the energy throughpoorly managed drag or friction. Nature and humansuse dramatically opposed strategies for energyconsumption. The helical structures have been found everywherein nature. From the movement of the smallestparticle like an atom to the largest structures in theuniverse such as a galaxy. The path of leastresistance is not a straight line. PAX Scientific,through understanding of natural fluid flow for along time, developed industrial equipment such asPAX fan and impeller that are highly efficient andinnovative. Biomolecules such as DNA, a blueprint oflife, and protein, are stabilized thermodynamically andare able to be efficient metabolically through helicalstructure. Architectures based on the helical structureare environmentally friendly. Representatives of thearchitecturesare the helix bridge at Singapore’sMarina bay, interior staircase of London City Hall,and the Agora Garden in Taipei. A sustainable design based on natural principle isthought to be a new driving power for the eternityof human being. By doing so, we can halve theworld`s energy consumption and environmentalpollution with least sacrifice. To make this possible,a broad range of fields including material research,product design & innovation, inventions, systemsdesign, architecture, communication and mechanicswould be interdisplinarily combined.
